HL Deb 04 March 2003 vol 645 cc94-5WA
Baroness Williams of Crosby

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in the light of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1457, they are now investigating those United Kingdom companies and individuals listed in Annex III to the report of the Panel of Experts on Congo and reminding them of their obligations under the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. [HL1742]

Baroness Amos

SCR 1457 (2003) extended the mandate of the UN Expert Panel for a further six months. In the light of the panel's findings, Her Majesty's Government will consider taking appropriate action where there is clear evidence of wrongdoing.
